    “Finish this List” would be impossible since it’s part of the list, you’d need to finish it to check it off, you can only finish 99 of those. =P

    other than that…kill a great white shark while swimming

    I love at how people can do this sort of thing, aspiring to achieve so much in the short time we have

    I will most likely end up writing one of these some day but, as a 16 year old, I don’t see much right now I’d want to do later in life :P
    I’ll go for 30 things in 365 days for now (^_^)

    Also, I recommend making a short movie, it’s brilliant fun and even if you don’t have funding (God knows, I don’t :P) you can still make something to get an idea across or even just make people laugh

    Now I think you need to go back and make a list of 100 things you’ve actually done so that you can truly appreciate yourself and all of your accomplishments. (I’ve done it and will be posting it shortly for my 100th blog post, and I’m only 18 so I’m sure you can.) [=
